The gs300 is like the Aristo..
Yes there are plenty of Aristo conversions you can search on this board, the only difference is the addition of a 2jzgte and changed rear end.

There are some slight body changes as well. Front bumper, headlights, spoiler, tail lights.
I've done the entire swap and I must say its worth it and the way we should have got it here.

America gets watered down cars. Always has. Their muscle car idiots, I know because I use to be one. The accord Euro R was MADE here but shipped out with the H22. Good lil car, I had one of those too. I missed having a RWD sport sedan, my first car was a MX73 manual cressida.
You can find tons here. Everyone here is awesome. I've just started on mine. Once it comes time for the engine swap I'm getting a full front clip with 2JZ GTE. I've done swaps on several cars in my life. There is a stickie thread explaining what you need to do it right.
I'm working on aesthetics first. Then suspension and brakes. Then performance.

Which brakes are you doing? I did full Supra stoptech kit but Figs has a kit that is almost as good (2piston rear vs 4piston on stoptech) but its almost half the price and I think he has a introductory price going on now.

Can you post a side by side comparison GS300 vs Aristo. When I look at pics its hard for me to tell the difference between the two besides the obvious spoiler. Thanks

I'm not good with pics and this forum lol. I wish I was. Mainly just look at the grill and the little vents on the bottom of Aristo bumper. Its pretty similar but the Aristo version is sportier.

Right now just replacing stock until I get 17" wheels. Then the supra TT brakes. I've got a buddy that has a supra TT that's switching to big brakes. He's selling me his calipers.

Performance wise besides the obvious 2JZ GTE is a firmer suspension, I think upgrade brakes, and remapped ecu. Again I'm new to this so I'm just filling in the blanks.

They did have a side skirt kit on some I believe. Mainly just front bumper which kind of has a lip. Ecu is different for the rltufbo setup, transmission is stronger, rear diff has LSD in most, the whole setup is less luxury and more sporty.
Supra brakes are good. The stock brakes suck so bad.

Sounds like the manual cressidas. They had a front lip, headlight sprayers, LSD diff, and stiffer suspension.

I had the same thought in mind a while back and when I asked the aussies about it they informed me that the 147 is quite a bit wider than the x100... With money obviously it could be done, but lits of widebody woukd be needed...and some creativity to match the super angular widebody panels of the x100 to the more rounded lines of the 147
